hwmon: (ads7828) driver cleanup
As there is no reliable way to identify the chip, it is preferable to remove the detect callback, to avoid misdetection. Module parameters are not worth it here, so let's get rid of them and add an ads7828_platform_data structure instead. Clean the code by removing unused macros, fixing coding style issues, avoiding function prototypes and using convenient macros such as module_i2c_driver().

17* se_input: bool (default Y) 17The ads7828 driver accepts an optional ads7828_platform_data structure (defined
18 Single ended operation - set to N for differential mode 18in include/linux/platform_data/ads7828.h). The structure fields are:
19* int_vref: bool (default Y) 19
20 Operate with the internal 2.5V reference - set to N for external reference 20* diff_input: (bool) Differential operation
21* vref_mv: int (default 2500) 21 set to true for differential mode, false for default single ended mode.
22 If using an external reference, set this to the reference voltage in mV 22
23* ext_vref: (bool) External reference
24 set to true if it operates with an external reference, false for default
25 internal reference.
26
27* vref_mv: (unsigned int) Voltage reference
28 if using an external reference, set this to the reference voltage in mV,
29 otherwise it will default to the internal value (2500mV). This value will be
30 bounded with limits accepted by the chip, described in the datasheet.
31
32 If no structure is provided, the configuration defaults to single ended
33 operation and internal voltage reference (2.5V).
